Darknight Castle is the debut release from Faradize (Maxim Kucher), a psytrance producer of Russian origin presently residing in Beer-Sheva, the capital of the Israeli full-on scene. His style is a study in contrasts, combining morning melodies, dark theatrical atmospheres, tribal textures, and acoustic elements into a sizzling psychoactive brew destined to ignite dance floors around the world. This intoxicating blend of old school vibes and new influences draws upon the pioneering work of acts such as The Misted Muppet and Infected Mushroom, conjuring fantastic worlds of sound in the process. This release has been mastered by Audio Valve and features cover art by Faradize himself.

This EP is what i would call a classic culmination of kick-ass. It’s too bad kick is spelt that way, because if it cick, then i could get away with a great alliteration to describe this EP. Sadly, Kick is Kick, and well… this EP has plenty of that. Nice driving lines, interesting sounds and great melodies. I would have to say that these tracks would slot in perfectly in that lovely atmosphere that a good party gets at, somewhere around 1-3AM.

This EP is so good, I really want to hear more.
Especially Darknight Castle. I like the psychedelic scattering sounds in it on the end.
Great sounds and I hope to hear it soon on Party’s on the darkest part of the night.
Faradize keep up the vibe and hope to hear more of this in the future.

WOW! I know I’m a little late to be adding comments, but I just had to say some stuff.

This is an amazing mix of styles and genres, it is almost beyond words. Some very powerful night dance floor shakers, or for the onset of twilight.
A perfect blend of the gloomy, doomy dark sounds, but wow, then you hear all the full power psy influences and it just blows you away.
I used Mindless to close out a full-on set last night, and the crowd danced themselves retarded. They screamed so loud that I had to play it again.
Can’t wait to hear the full length I’m sure is coming soon.

Powerful sound… I’m very impressed. Loving those hints of infected Mushroom coming through; there good stuff – not the commercial rubbish.
The sound is playful, dark, organic, twisted and 100% driving.

Excellent!
